Life

Now that our "summer" has begun, with Trevor getting home, we've been staying busy:

*Camping and 4-wheeling at Joe's Valley with Trevors parents-

*

*Spending some quality family time (miniature golfing)-

*Supporting my dad on his 13-hour LOTOJA bike race to Jackson Hole

*Sadie that day, at her cousins bday party (she was not part of the support crew :)-




*Lovin Life. She was in heaven with the rainbow butterfly wings-






*Hangin out at the movies with Kenlie. Trevor went to Lake Powell last week, but being almost 7 months pregnant, I opted out this time. Party-pooper, I know-






*Rock-climbing. She has no fear, like her dad, which makes me a little nervous for the future.. -

*Bouldering-

Good to be Back

Sadie and I are back in Utah now! It feels good to be home, but we did have a fun summer in Ohio. Here's a few pics of our last little while:

Sadie tells everyone she's a "super-hero". I believe her.

Sadie with her daddy on the ferris wheel. They wouldn't let me on :( (seeing my belly)

Trevor and I downtown, on the new Scioto Mile

It's all downhill from here. . .

Sadie with 3 of her best pals at the pool. We swim A LOT. It's been one HOT-tamale here lately. . .

And... Today is 20 weeks for me! Half-way! Yay!! We are very excited to be having another GIRL!!! I've actually been feeling a lot better lately, which is so relieving. The past few months have been mostly miserable :) Excuse the picture quality. Sadie took it and this is the best one :) It's for my sister, who is making me post a belly-pic, since we haven't seen each other for a couple months. Here ya go Brand:

Half-Way

My little brother is currently serving a mission in the Birmingham, England area. Today is his 1-year mark!! We're so proud of him and his amazingly positive attitude in every situation and circumstance- it has been such an example to all of us. We love you Josh and can't believe you've been out for a year already! :)

Mom!

Mom (Gram, as Sadie calls her) came out to Ohio and stayed with us this week! It was so much fun- Sadie was in heaven sharing her room and playing all week. My life was easy. . . I had a 24 hour babysitter, maid, and friend :) We went to the zoo, shopping, splash pad, parks, Old Dublin, & movies, oh and out to eat A LOT! Thanks mom for giving US a vacation and for all your help. For everything. We love you and miss you so much!!!

Ohio

Well, we've been in Ohio for about a month now. We've gone to the Columbus zoo a few times and battled the heat, but it's been fun. We're so glad Amy and Ava are out here too! Here are the girls at the zoo:

Yesterday we drove up to Kirtland and toured some historical sites. It's so neat! Here is the Kirtland Temple:

The 3 of us outside the Temple:

Trevor and Sadie posing outside of the Newel K. Whitney store. This was one of my favorite places. Joseph and Emma lived upstairs, also where the School of the Prophets was. It's humbling to walk through the same door, and on the floorboards where the Prophet did- where so many miraculous things happened.

She's 3!

Sadie turned 3 a few days ago! I'm so grateful that she's in my life. That she IS my life :) I learn so much from the way she sees the world and love witnessing her discover it bit by bit everyday. We love her so much. Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!

She wanted a Rapunzel cake, so here is my masterpiece :) She loved it.

And thank-you to my life-saving mother and sister, who helped me out with it
